Documentation Live Image Beat

From FedoraProject

{This is work in progress. Please suggest changes.}

Introduction
A live image is a safe and easy way to test the Fedora operating system on your own familiar hardware. If you enjoy this experience, you can install the live system software to your system's hard drive. The installation can either replace your existing operating system, or co-exist separately on your hard drive. This live image provides you with an experience that is very similar to running Fedora, but there are some important differences. Refer to link titlefor more information.

NOTES

1. in xfce:
Two additions: xfdashboard and xfce4-whiskermenu plugin.
One removal: remina
Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, aiming to be useful for system administrators and travellers.
It is specially useful for those who need to work with lots of remote computers in front of either large monitors or tiny netbooks.
Remmina supports multiple network protocols in an integrated and consistent user interface. Currently RDP, VNC, NX, XDMCP and SSH are supported.

2. kde: disable baloo for live user
According to KDE website Baloo is the next generation of the Nepomuk project.
It's responsible for handling user metadata such as tags, rating and comments.
It also handles indexing and searching for files, emails, contacts, and so on.
